According to Freddie Mac, U.S. mortgage rates have continued to decline; they have fallen to 3.58 percent for a 30-year fixed mortgage. This should have a positive effect on the strength of Kauai’s real estate market performance and is reflected with the most recent increase in market activity in areas such as Princeville. Of the thirty-two single family homes currently listed in Princeville, ten of them have been put into escrow over the last month. Of the ten homes, four are located at Queen Emma’s Bluffs on private Aloali’i Drive in Princeville II where a most recent sale of a two bedroom, three bath home of 3,300 square foot recorded at $1,135,000. With the average sales price of single family homes in Princeville hovering around $1.1 Million, Aloali’i Drive fits perfectly into this sector of the market and should continue to capture market share.
